Possible orogeny-parallel lower crustal flow and thickening in the Central Andes

The relatively low elevation and thick crust in the Altiplano, in comparison to the higher elevation, but thinner crust in the Puna plateau, together with geophysical data, suggests that isostatic equillibrium is achieved by cooler and denser lithospheric mantle in the Altiplano. Excess density in t...
